What I really want it somethin like an acog with the crosshairs illuminated but no at the price of an acog. Any recommendations.

I have a StrikeFire on my AR and it's great. No complaints here. It has a lot of dot size options as well as a preset dot size specifically for low light. The red and green dot colors is a neat feature too. It's good for the price.

Unless they have improved it, the RED ONLY version is significantly brighter in daylight conditions. This was a frequent comment about the R/G (which I have but use a Nikon M223 1-4 instead now.

It is a really good sight for the money with that caviat.

I just bought one for my AR, had it out to the range today to sight it in. I got mine at Cabelas, on sale for $149, came with the doubler. Really like the red and green option. The doubler really cuts down on the field of view, can't speak as to the 3x magnifiers that primary has, but others like them. If your looking for an Acog type sight my buddy just got a Bushnell Trophy, he says he likes it. I haven't shot it yet but looks pretty good.

This is the closest thing to an ACOG that I have found.

Great optic for the money.

Great optic for the money.

But would you recommend getting a magnifier? And did you have the green dot one as well? Because I'm color blind I have a hard time seeing the red dots.
